Swimmer Eric Shanteau placed third in the 200-meter breaststroke at the U.S. Olympic trials with a time of 2:10.05. This gives him an average speed of 1.538 m/s. Of course, this wasn’t his speed the ...

In addition to Fitts’ Law, we (Schmidt, Zelaznik, Hawkins, Frank & Quinn, 1979) proposed a linear speed-accuracy trade-off. These two laws appear to be fundamentally different. We have begun a series ...

In robust statistics, the concept of breakdown point was introduced to quantify the robustness of an estimator in a linear regression model. Computing the breakdown point is useful in tuning some ...

PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control, nanopositioning and piezo technology solutions, announces the release of the V-141 linear motor stage family, the most compact and ...

Super smooth: the updated linear-shift mechanism from UHV Design exploits a precision slideway to increase the translation speed (Courtesy: UHV Design) UHV Design, which specializes in the design, ...

The stress–strain behaviors of viscoelastic materials are often simulated using a model composed of various combinations of springs and dampers. With the increase in the number of springs and dampers, ...
